About Us

The Swiss Society for Infectious Diseases (SSI) is a leading organization in Switzerland committed to advancing the understanding, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases. We aim to support healthcare professionals by providing education, fostering research, and promoting best practices in infectious disease management.

SSI focuses on areas such as clinical infectious diseases, infection control, microbiology, antimicrobial stewardship, and global health. We work to improve patient care, address antimicrobial resistance, and respond effectively to emerging infections.

Through events, guidelines, and networking opportunities, SSI connects experts and drives collaboration in the field. We are dedicated to shaping the future of infectious disease care in Switzerland and improving public health outcomes.

Join us in our mission to combat infectious diseases and enhance healthcare across Switzerland.

SSI Cookie Policy Popup

Transparent handling of personal data is very important to us. This privacy policy provides information on what personal data we collect, for what purpose and to whom we pass it on. We regularly review and update this privacy policy to ensure the highest level of transparency.

What data we collect

We process your general personal data. Personal data is any type of information that relates to an identifiable natural person. The natural person is identifiable if conclusions can be drawn about the identity of the person from the available information.

Example: Your name, IP address and home address are personal data.

You often provide us with your personal data yourself. Whenever you enter your personal data and transmit it to us, it is deemed to have been provided to us. The transmission of data to us is basically voluntary, but in some cases it is mandatory in order to be able to use our offers.

Example: You enter your data in a contact form or sign up for a newsletter.

When you use our services, we sometimes collect their data without your active participation. This data is usually data about your device and data about user behavior.

Example: We collect data about the operating system of the device you used to access our website.

We strive to continuously improve our offer. For this purpose, we use your personal data for the development and improvement of our products and services.

Example: We collect data about visitor behavior on the website in order to constantly improve the user experience.

We share your personal data with companies that can decide for themselves how to use the data. Most often, this is done because it is necessary to comply with legal requirements, when an outstanding debt is transferred to a collection agency, or when to detect fraudulent activity.

Example: A legal requirement obliges us to pass on your data to an authority.

We work with providers from all over the world to process your personal data. This allows us to benefit from the global offering and access the best and most reliable services. Under certain circumstances, the country to which the data is exported does not have the same data protection standard as Switzerland.

Example: We use the services of a cloud provider such as Google, which is based in the USA.

What services we use

https://google.com/analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a service of the provider Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland with headquarters at Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, both together "Google".

What data do we process?

Google Analytics is an analysis service for websites to collect information about the use of the website. In particular, the following information may be collected:

  • IP address
  • Technical information such as browser, operating system or screen resolution
  • Interactions on the website
  • Duration of the visit
  • Time and date of the website visit
  • Referrer URL

The IP address is anonymised by Google Analytics so that a personal reference is no longer possible. When a visitor visits our website for the first time, Google Analytics can generate an identifier to recog-nise the visitor when they visit the website again. If you are logged in with your Google account, data processing can also take place across devices.

For what purpose do we process the data?

Your IP address is used to determine your approximate location. We can use the information obtained from this to measure the relevance of our offers in different regions. We also use the IP address to de-termine where website visitors have come to our website from. The technical information is processed so that the website can be displayed satisfactorily on every device. The interactions, duration, time and date are collected so that we can use this data to evaluate and optimise our marketing campaigns and offers. We can also use this data to determine how visitors interact with our website, i.e. which content is popular with which visitors. The referrer URL is processed for the purpose of measuring the effec-tiveness and analysing various marketing channels.

Who do we share the data with?

The transfer of data by us is governed by our statements on data transfer. As Google is a transnational company, your data may be transferred by Google to anywhere in the world. In particular, it may be transferred to Google's headquarters in the USA. A country in which the legislation does not guarantee adequate data protection.

https://tagmanager.google.com

We use Google Tag Manager on our website, a service of the provider Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland with headquarters at Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, both together "Google".

Google Tag Manager is a service for centralised management of various tracking tags (e.g. Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Hotjar etc.). Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any data. The tags that collect the data that we manage using Google Tag Manager are listed in this privacy policy.

https://www.privacybee.io/

We use PrivacyBee on our website, a service provided by PrivacyBee AG, Laupenstrasse 1, 3008 Bern, Switzerland. PrivacyBee is used to recognize all data protection-relevant services and to generate an individual privacy policy for the website.

What data do we process?
PrivacyBee is a service for generating data protection declarations, which are then integrated into our website via JavaScript. The following data is processed for the provision of this service:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Date and time of access to our privacy policy

For what purpose do we process the data? The collection of this data enables us to display the privacy policy correctly on your end device configuration and to ensure that the content is correct and up to date.

Who do we share the data with?
The transfer of data by us is based on our statements on data transfer. The data collected through the use of PrivacyBee remains with PrivacyBee.

How can you prevent the processing of your data?
To prevent PrivacyBee from processing your data, you can disable JavaScript in your browser. Please note, however, that if you deactivate JavaScript, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. We do not offer a specific opt-out option for the PrivacyBee service itself, as the service is essential for the provision of our privacy policy.
